    The other way can be true, too. That Kirk wears it the proper way and Pike adds the undershirt for some reason. Or that regulations changed between the moment depicted with Pike and the moment depicted with Kirk.

    My head canon is that when the Federation gets a new member the new folks get to pick the new uniforms. Troi’s Betazeds came up with the miniskirts.

      I like this canon, but I also like knowing that when Jellico ordered her into regulation uniforms like a big old meanie, it was actually because Marina Sirtis wanted to stop showing cleavage and be taken more seriously in her role.

        I heard that story; that the cast used Jellico to stop all the things they disliked.

        It’s also interesting that different actors have a different response to situations.

        It’s amazing how often the cast on The Americans found the need to get naked in order to advance the plot.

    Could be both tbh. RCN NCD shirts could be worn with or without black T-shirt underneath. Most of us did choose to wear the T-shirt though as our NCDs were often so worn they were more titillatingly see-through than anything from Victoria’s Secret.

    I’m willing to bet the undershirt is optional; Kirk was pretty good about following the rules most of the time. If he wasn’t you know he’d have been tits out on duty, 100%.
